Foods you would love to return

Some discontinued stuff I would love to return:

1.) Ham and cheese mini Cheddars

2.) Jaffa cakes with the lime filling

3.) And most of all Birds hot crunch pudding (banana for preference)

Anything you really miss? Food that were part of your childhood....

Lemonade Spangles 😋

@HRTQueen yes to Banjos! And Trophy's similar tasting, both good and nothing close (maybe that's a good thing otherwise weight gain!)

Not sure this is similar because never had toast toppers but there's nothing like beef paste on toast, with bit of marg first - the paste melts into the toast and it's lovely.

@NorthernPoppetPrincess i know right! According to Wikipedia there was a petition to revive them in 2012, but I have never since seen them

Also the fruit polos were good to go alongside my vote for citrus polos

Probably the reason I am missing one tooth and at 3 crowns in my 30s 😂

Oooh so many of these! Pacers, Toffos, tinned treacle pudding.

I’d love to see individual treacle tarts back - same size as jam tarts. Not seen them for years.

Also an amazing biscuit by Fox’s - I think they were called Secrets. I ate them all.

Pacers. They were the mint version of an opal fruit. They just vanished - albeit many, many years ago... I remember exactly what they tasted like. They were green and pale green striped. Does anyone else remember them?

Absolutely. They are my long lost favourite too

Why did they go away?

Why?

Whhhyyy?? 🤣🤣

I remember them being back around then, when my son was little. It was a joyous few months, then they disappeared again 😕

CatchHimDerry · 08/02/2024 21:35

@frazzle66 yes Frosties! The cola ones! 🤩

@Iftheresawilltheresaway did they? I didn’t see that. I wouldn’t mind them hard to be honest I’m a heathen that puts pic n mix and chocolate in my fridge to make it all hard

HRTQueen · 08/02/2024 21:35

I used to always get a box of chocolate bunnies at Easter. The chocolate was gorgeous the nicest chocolate I’ve ever had and the box was pretty too

I don’t think it was Lindt but can’t remember the make and not seen them for years

Not RTFT yet so apologies if these have been mentioned but Burton's Piglets. Smokey bacon flavour puffed crisps in the actual shape of piggies. I bloody loved those.

And why was Quattro discontinued but Lilt is still a thing?

Purpleandredandyellow · 08/02/2024 21:41

Lilt has recently been discontinued too

That weird orange juice drink that was made with a powder.

The butterscotch covered in dark chocolate that used to be in Black Magic chocs

The line barrel in the Terry's selection chocs.

Captainspaulding · 08/02/2024 21:45

Yes to fruit toffos

Original Opal Fruits
Vuce Versas, those white and regular chocolate minstrel things!
Citrus polos
Findus crispy fish finger type things
original Turkey Twizzlers before Jamie Oliver doomed them
The monster munch that used to turn your tongue blue
Blue panda pops

all full of shit that no doubt shortens your lifespan, and yet still great memories 😂👌🏼

Yes, poundland had them, and a few other places. Tasted the same except so hard. Gutted as I wasn't risking my teeth

friendlyflicka · 08/02/2024 21:46

chunky aeros. Loved them in a way I have never loved another chocolate bar

liveforsummer · 08/02/2024 21:46

Purpleandredandyellow · 08/02/2024 21:42

There was a cheaper version of these. Mint crisp or something that was even better. Think they didn't have the almonds in the chocolate coating but were soo nice

friendlyflicka · 08/02/2024 21:47

And Spangles, especially cola flavour, from my very distant childhood. Just loved the name

Was it Kremola foam?

This thread has transported me back to my childhood big time.
